True or False: The impact/effort matrix is a simple five-square matrix that takes each solution and places it in the quadrant that best reflects the impact expected and the effort required if that solution were chosen. False, it's a four-square matrix Which of the following is an objective of the Improve Phase? a) execute full-scale implementation b) confirm scope, goals and objectives of a project c) conduct benchmarking d) find the critical Xs (root causes) a) execute full-scale implementation Why are solutions typically piloted prior to full implementation? a) to validate improvements and minimize risks and costs b) to develop the project charter c) to finalize the data collection plan d) to perform linear regression on the Xs vs. the Ys a) to validate improvements and minimize risks and costs Not studied (31) You haven't studied these terms yet! Select these 31 A DMAIC team is struggling to reach consensus agreement on which improvement is best to deliver the desired project results. A good tool for this situation could be a ______________. a) solution selection matrix b) hypothesis test c) regression analysis d) value stream map a) solution selection matrix - solutions are ranked by the team according to the agreed criteria True or False: Given the nature of both tools, the solution selection matrix is a much simpler tool compared to the impact/effort matrix. False The purpose of the Six Sigma Improve Phase is to _________________________. a) generate and test possible solutions b) select the best solutions c) design an implementation plan d) a and b e) a, b, and c e) a, b, and c The project leader wants to ensure her improvements are going to be effective and will deliver the desired results. Which of the following is appropriate for this situation? a) do a capability analysis b) conduct a pilot study c) extract and extend numbers from the analyze phase d) none of the above b) conduct a pilot study

True or False: The solution prioritization matrix is a more complex matrix where the solutions are ranked according to the team-agreed criteria. True True or False: Lean manufacturing tools are often used in the Improve Phase of a Six Sigma project. True - to reduce waste and improve the flow in the process. True or False: Pilot studies are most useful in DFSS projects. False Vickie's boss is not sure she should be running a project because he is concerned that the benefits of new business will not outweigh the costs. Which of the following measures may be useful in evaluating this decision? a) expected profit b) expected value c) costs d) none of the above a) expected profit A risk priority number (RPN) in an FMEA is established by multiplying which of the following components? a) timing, actions, and response b) occurrence, detection, and severity c) mode, effects, and analysis d) design, process, and failures b) occurrence, detection, and severity 00:12 03:56 If a business is unsure of the success of a new project, it would be wise to complete a _________________ before undertaking the project. a) risk analysis b) FMEA c) feasibility study d) none of the above make sense for this situation c) feasibility study True or False: A SWOT analysis can be a good tool to assess the risk(s) associated with a project. True True or False: When designing a new process for a heavy manufacturing environment, an example of an unintended consequence could be the planned efficiency gains. False A flag manufacturer has already launched a new product that will potentially gain two new customers, US Flag Inc. and USA Flags LLC. The company estimates that there is a 50% chance of signing each new customer post-launch. The profitability of each customer is roughly $1m. The projected increase in profit is ___________. Profit X Probability = $1M The FMEA is used most often in which of the following phases of DMAIC? a) define b) analyze

c) improve d) control c) improve, but can be used in the design phase True or False: Before undertaking a new project, a business is not sure if the scope is accurate. It would be wise to complete a feasibility study. False True or False: Bob is a Black Belt going through his Master Black Belt Coach's recommendations. He sees that risks must be considered when creating the project schedule. He thinks that since he basically knows these risks, he should assess them alone instead of with the team and stakeholders. This is acceptable. False Due to its ability to deliver a product at a low cost, a company is considering launching a new product in an unfamiliar industry with a good amount of competition. As part of a SWOT analysis, its "weaknesses" must be considered. Given the situation, which of the following item(s) may be a weakness? a) new product b) industry knowledge c) low cost to manufacture d) all of the above b) industry knowledge The effect of proposed process changes on the wider system must be taken into consideration If not, it is possible there could be __________. a) unintended consequences b) upset stakeholders c) negative results downstream in the process d) all of the above. d) all of the above. True or False: The expected profit is the sum of the total number of outcomes of profit divided by their probabilities. False, sum of profit X probability FMEAs are used to _____________________. a) substantially reduce costs by identifying design and process improvements b) specify value by product c) identify waste d) increase shareholder value a) substantially reduce costs by identifying design and process improvements True or False: Before undertaking a new project, if a business is not sure whether or not it will be successful, it would be helpful to complete a process mapping exercise to assess the situation. False, feasibility analysis True or False: Risk is defined as an undesirable situation or circumstance that has both a likelihood of occurring and a potentially negative outcome. True Due to its ability to deliver a product at a low cost, a company is considering launching a new product in an unfamiliar industry with a good amount of competition. As part of a SWOT analysis, its "strengths" must be considered. Given the situation, which of the
